The correct mantle
for a gas or pressure lamp is very important to get the best light
output and avold damage to the burner. Many internet sites and
forums suggest any mantle will do, even advising wiring on incorrect
mantles to make them fit!
We keep in stock over 45 different mantles for gas and liquid fuel
pressure lamps. No one else offers such a comprehensive range, if
you are unsure about which mantle is best for your lamp just ask.

Made to our own specification without
Thorium, these mantles are a tighter weave than the
normal 164X so give a brighter light with no 'flaring' outside the
mantle. Loose tied for the expert user they perform well on
inaccurate machined spigots.

The chimney is an
important part of an oil lamp, it ensures the correct airflow over
the wick to get the brightest light without smoke or smell. Our
forefathers designed many dozens of styles to improve their lamp
over the competition. Sadly many of these original styles are
totally obsolete but most lamps will work with a chimney close to
the original design.Often incorrect chimneys have been fitted
over the years, therefore it is best to find a chimney to fit the
burner rather than just replace the possibly incorrect chimney
which is broken.When ordering check the winder knob on the
lamp for any markings, also look under the lamp base for possible
makers marks. These will all help to identify the burner and
chimney originally fitted to the lamp. Click

then any chimney which fits and looks 'in balance' with the lamp
will be fine.
